Lucite and Glass Coffee Table

I've seen this table attributed to Lion in Frost by Leon Frost, but there is no signature on this one.  Either way, it is a super stylish and beautifully crafted piece.  The butterfly base is composed of two pieces of clear beveled lucite with a metal joiner concealed in frosted lucite. The thick glass top has a beveled edge as well.  52" l., 30" w., 15" h.  American, c. 1970  SOLD

Pair of Curtis Jere Wall Sculptures

We've been lucky over the last month to find a number of great Curtis Jere pieces.  These signed Jere sculptures are pretty unique.  In the foreground of each are three trees with branches covered in delicate leaves.  Behind the trees sit a mailbox and pathway to a farmhouse with a windmill and winding fence.  When lit properly, the shadows of the tree branches and leaves add another dimension to the whole effect of the sculptures.  36" h., 20" w.  American, c. 1970's  SOLD

George and Martha Washington Chromolithographs

The intent was to list these yesterday as a celebratory post for America's first female president.  Yesterday was too devastating a day to post anything.  Today I post these in memory of all the things which made my homeland great...inclusion, diversity, respect for others, tolerance, charity, creative excellence....and in the hope that we all do what we can to ensure that the true American values we cherish are not Trumped.

This pair of chromolithographs of George and Martha Washington were done by Hines Strobridge.  The Strobridge Litho Co. was founded in 1861.  In that year, Strobridge opened his gallery of portraits and advertised that his prints were made with "warranted oil-colors".  "His finely-rendered portrait of George Washington became an early icon in the world of chromolithography and gained attention from as far away as Philadelphia."  He was based in Cincinnati.  This image of Washington is based on a Gilbert Stuart painting.  The pair retain their original 19th c. frames.  16" h., 12.5" w.  American, c. late 19th c.  SOLD
